1957 - Looking at the stars

Elvis gets bigger, Macmillan's PM
That tedious Bergman film, The Seventh Seal
American Bandstand, a new program
The Cavern Club opens in Liverpool
And Egypt opens the Suez Canal
The Cat In The Hat, Euro Song Contest
Sukarno wants no Dutch left on his isles
Howl and On The Road heading way out west
While West Side Story's on stage in the East
A supersonic jet's flown by John Glenn
But Sputniks 1 and 2 are the real deal
In Little Rock the schools are still racist
GB's gay rights helped by Lord Wolfenden's
Report, though it takes ten years to be real
